I am a terminal optimist; ‘a believer’ in Nigeria’s future greatness, that is why three years ago, I would not have believed a bag of rice could be sold for the national minimum wage. With 87million extremely poor people and 13million children out of school in 2018, the mighty has indeed fallen and change has come. Now I know ‘all things’ are possible in a country ruled by incompetent ‘saints’. We have mass starvation in the North East, yet a clan of ‘Grass cutters’ are making their billions and smiling to the bank with the blood of hungry, homeless children, and internally displaced people in their hands. We hear rumors of ‘Bama Initiatives’ yet the fraternity in power manufactures internal solutions and our conniving cabinet of ‘saints’ watch in silence. They seek another term for their inaction, they call out the nation to pray for God to bless their cluelessness while we wait forever, for just anyone to answer the ‘grass cutter’s’ question; ‘who is the presidency?’ There ar...

The moment of the decision CREDIT: AP Gareth A Davies, boxing correspondent, at the staples center (report and live updates) Molly McElwee, (live updates) Telegraph Sport Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury fought to a split draw Saturday night, with the Alabaman retaining his WBC heavyweight title for an eighth time after knocking down his British challenger twice. But it was a dramatic contest, and a bewildering performance from the self-proclaimed Gypsy King, whose movement and footwork, slipping and sliding allowed him to win most of the rounds. But when Wilder landed, he was dangerous, flooring Fury in the ninth and twelfth rounds. Fury did well to recover from the second knockdown as Jack Reiss counted him. Somehow, Fury got back to his feet and even had an exhausted Wilder in trouble. Judge Robert Tapper scored the fight 114-112 for Fury, while Alejandro Rochin favored Wilder 115-111. Judge Phil Edwards, the only British judge, scored it a 113-113 draw. Your correspondent had ...

Femi-Fani Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of Aviation has insisted that the person occupying the Presidential Villa is not President Muhammadu Buhari. Fani-Kayode said Nigerians would be shocked in 2019 when the true identity of the president would be uncovered. He was reacting to the ongoing crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress, APC. According to the ex-Minister, “If APC provokes me again I will tell the whole world what we were cooking that got the house burnt”- Gov. Amosun. “If I say what I know about APC Nigerians will burn down AsoRock within 24 hours”- Gov. Okorocha. “There is something rotten in the APC that stinks worse than a dead body. “For example the true identity of the man in the Villa that claims to be Buhari will only be made known after he is defeated and steps down from power. “When that happens, Nigerians will be shocked to the marrow. In 2015, I warned about his fake certificate. Today I am warning about his fake identity.” Make yo...

An Android chips and its Battery(cell ) when 'ON' is a Bomb. A big bomb like a military grenade that can explode to kill someone using it and kill persons within a radius of 2meters from the phone. *When does Android Explosion occur ?* 1. When the Cell phone is over charged for too long , expansion begins. If you overcharge also too often, Expansion will one day reach a critical point, but you may not know when this maximum has been reached. At which, it explodes and kills and even those around the distance of 4m. 2. Explosion occurs spontaneously, immediately an Android cell phone smells Petroleum fumes or Cooking gas fumes. These fumes do have the same electrical chargers similar to the electric charges in the Android cells . And you know what that means in magnetism. Nelkon Physics book told us in class three Secondary that Equal poles (p+ and q+) repel or explode. Lesson: 1. Avoid going to a Petrol station with your Smart phone "ON". Put your phone ...

There is a work side to prosperity. It is the works of your hand God blesses. People are in farms planting yams and you are busy sitting in church, when it is harvesting time; don't expect yams to fall from heaven. When it is eating time; people are eating and you are "believing" God for yams. Faith without work is dead. There should be a corresponding action in line of faith. When the gospel came to Africa, the missionaries saw two vital areas of deficiencies; hospital and school. They filled these gaps. Today, directly or indirectly, we have all benefited from it. Today, we have a major problem; unemployment. Instead of filling this gap we are taking advantage of it. We gather the unemployed and "prophesy" jobs to them. We give them stickers, sell "holy water", tell them to sow and expect harvest, convincing them to "work" for the lord, that breakthrough is coming... All these we do to exploit and explore the vulnerable. We travel ab...

Rights activist and constitutional lawyer Femi Falana (SAN) said yesterday that the leader of the northern youth group that issued a three months ultimatum to the Igbo to vacate the North does not live in the North but in Lagos. Falana, however, said the restructuring and true federalism must be resolved now for Nigeria to make progress. He spoke at a news conference organized by organized labor in Abuja. To Falana, it is laughable that certain individuals will sit down in the comfort of their homes to issue an ultimatum to others to vacate their land.

"So, I can tell you for free that President Buhari is not going to win North-Central. He is not going to win the South-West; he is not going to win the South-East, and he is not going to win the South-South. So, I don’t know where his votes will come from. If it is going to come from the North-West, that is fine. “Completely, President Buhari has no goodwill left. All the euphoria that was felt, I didn’t feel it because I have always known his background. “There was a huge euphoria of change that former President Goodluck Jonathan had not done well; that he presided over a highly corrupt government, and Buhari was the Mr. Clean, Mr. Integrity, and he will fix things. But that has not happened. “On the contrary, Nigeria is broken politically, strategically, morally, and a completely bankrupt country. Poverty level has grown, 85 million Nigerians are extremely poor, we have now become the poverty capital of the world. “So, the euphoria of 2015 is certainly not the euphoria of 20...

IF THE BIBLE WERE TO BE WRITTEN IN OUR TIME, THE STORY OF ATIKU COULD HAVE BEEN THUS* AN ACCOUNT OF THE TRIALS OF ATIKU THE SON OF ABUBAKAR 1. In the seventh year that king Obasanjo reigned over the kingdom, a great trouble broke out in the land. For when his time was come nigh that he may descend from the throne that he called unto himself noble men in the land. 2. And he declared unto them saying: "Now that my days on the throne are few, allow me therefore to rule over thee for another four years". 3. And he gathered together of them that maketh laws in the Red Chamber in the city of the king, and even unto they in the Green Chamber, that they may amend the books of the law to favour him. 4. But this thing grieved Atiku the son of Abubakar who was the king's deputy. And he said unto his master, "howbeit seekest thou to rule over the people for another term? sweareth not thou by the name of thy god to set me upon the throne after thee? 5. Practice thou not t...
